It's still funny with some well observed jokes and gloriously ridiculous lines but . . . it does feel like it is really repeating itself and recycling jokes from series past. It's still a good watch, but I can't help but feel it's time to perhaps call it a day.

Right now I'm trying out the first episode of Revolution. Maybe about a third of the way in. It is a little schlocky but has potential so far.

Reminds me a bit of Terra Nova crossed with the Stand. I know the press has made comparisons with Lost.

Terra Nova I watched cuz my wife liked it, but it bored me half to death. Part of the problem was the feelgood family drama crap. It wanted to be the spiritual successor to Seventh Heaven or something, I think to draw in female viewers. Instead it was bland, bland, bland. Another problem with Terra Nova was that the story was set all in one base or location. So there was very little of a journey feel to it.

So far Revolution has discarded the family drama handily. And the characters should be on the move throughout the series, which should bring a bigger feeling of adventure.

Anyone watching it and still liking it?

Anyway now that I'm an ADULT DAMMIT I'm watching through it and WOW it's an amazing show. Anybody else seen/love it?

Yeah and I watched it and loved it as a kid. As an adult, well, I watch milder stuff nowadays. There are still some celebrities that I can not see without thinking about their appearances on this show. David Duchovny had a couple of great episodes.

I had seen the pilot and posted about it here months ago. Finally watched the second episode. The acting, characters... well it isn't a great show. But I was prepared to watch more kinda as popcorn fare. Cancelled, unfortunately. So I'm not going to put myself through it.

Sherlock for the 2nd or 3rd time. That's one of the best tv series I've seen (mind you, I don't got to spent a lot of time with TV)
Game of Thrones is fantastic. The weird thing is I haven't watched the first season. Come to think of it, that's the only HBO series I ever watch.
Man, I'm so far behind everyone

I've recently finished series 4 of Misfits. It's nowhere near as good as the previous three but it's still fine. Joseph Gilgun is single-handedly keeping the show alive, bless 'im.
Also waiting for new episodes of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, Fringe, Homeland, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Being Human, American Horror Story... Bloody hell, TV is good lately.

Saw the final episode. The one before it led us to the climax of a mighty battle, so I thought for once the majority of this episode wouldn't be about travelling through the same backyard forest they've used in every episode while bugger all happens.

I was wrong. And the worst part of it was Merlin turns old for absolutely no reason. Previously his appearance only changed when sampling an aging potion, but this time he appeared to absorb the magics of the cave or something. He then leaves the cave old, implying the change to the popular cultural image of Merlin is now set and he has become the wizard he was destined to be. So he approaches the battle, throws lightning bolts around, and disappears. Next time we see him, he's young again. WHAAAAT?
